Flax

An example of Flax plants growing on farmland.

Flax is a plant added to the world generation by RedPower 2. It can be grown from Flax Seeds, which are obtained as a random drop from tall grass. They are also gained from harvesting flax plants (which do not naturally generate - any flax-plants in the world were planted by a player).

Flax is mainly used for farming string. Flax is grown on tilled soil; however, for flax to be planted the soil must be hydrated. Flax Seeds, a product from harvesting flax, are also used with Paint.

Flax plants grow relatively slowly, and will grow up to two blocks tall. Breaking the top block does not make the lower block to break. The lower block will not regrow a top block, thus halting production. Breaking the bottom half will break the whole plant, providing string and seeds from both blocks, and is required to regrow the flax.

Bone Meal can be used on flax in order to grow it instantly. It will be 2 blocks tall after using 1 bonemeal.
